Hal Lambert is a fucking idiot. Adam Mockler is correct, tariffs are a regressive tax that disproportionately affects lower income families. The level of stupidity that comes out of these people’s mouths is palpable. Mockler is really good at this‼️🔥💥🔥

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

Tom Cotton is moments away from saying, “I watched the video I won’t let any of you ever see, and the guy with no shirt on—YUM!—was clearly using ESP to signal to passing birds to fly to the lair of the narco-terrorist warlords to tell them how to kill more Americans. That's just a fact.”
WELKER: Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a t shirt could've been part of an attempt to get attention for help?

TOM COTTON: Or it could've been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

I have never seen Europe this angry at the US; Trump has practically destroyed the alliance and any ounce of trust left. The US is going full pariah state.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

ICE is literally being used by a fascist criminal regime as their personal army to assault, abduct, kidnap, imprison and terrorize people of color and their perceived enemies. They aren’t a lawful agency, they’re a criminal Gestapo.
